SUMMARY:

Jason Reynolds' Long Way Down brings us into the world of Will, a boy who wants to take revenge on the man who killed his brother, Shawn. He gets on the elevator with a gun to avenge Shawn's death, but is greeted by several ghosts of friends, family, and acquaintances who've lost their lives to gun violence. Why are they there? What will happen in this elevator on this long, way down? What could possibly go wrong?
